Cooked chicken stew for supper. Lil Sis bought her a Macbook too and has sales for her Dell notebook and desktop. Im playing on em now, cleaning em up and getting em ready for the new owners.

 

Roasted a nice tender Buffalo roast, mashed spuds and veggies.
Slow cooked hormone and antibiotic free Buffalo. MMMmmmmm

 

Thanks for the prayers and thoughts everyone, I appriciate them alot. Eventhough this is a forum, it's nice to read the kind words you all have to say! Mom spent the day with grandpa today and grandpa's lady friend he lived with for a few years after my grandma died, drove up from florida today to see him.

Had a good day at the coal yard. Got to work with the other coal handling crew today. I'm working with a bunch of nice people. The guys I work with want to keep me in their dept if they can.

 

Matt, that's awesome that you are getting along with your fellow employees. A lot of times, the new guy gets it, glad it's not the case with you.

Vacuumed the floor tonight, did a few other honey do's. Had a beer for the DTR!

 

Mark, the crew I work with treat everyone like family. Most are able to retire or are about to retire from the company they are happy to see some young people get hired in now. From what I have been told 1/3 of the company can retire right now, and in a few years another 1/3 can retire. The guys call the coal handling dept "The Resort". They say once you're there you never wanna leave!

 

G'night DTR. I'll see you all tomorrow afternoon afterwork.

 

Good deal, buddy. Have a good night.

I'm about to turn in. See ya'll in the am. Gonna make the coffee and set the timer for 5...

 

Night Matt and Mark

Wont be long myself. Might sleep in in the morning.

Later

 

Morning, day shift taking a break. Wet morning. Wondering if any of you got picked on by those tornadoes out west. Matt, sorry about gramps. I miss mine. Lung cancer got him. He was there almost every day for weeks when I was in the hospital from my crash, bringing fruit and vegetables from the garden from almost an hour and a half away. I always felt bad when he got sick and I had to sit at work.

Morning all.
Still on vacation this week.

Called the timekeeper yesterday and found out I still have 8 1/2 more days of unused leave from last year to 'burn' before I lose them at the end of his month.
Then I have 6 more weeks from THIS year..............

Heading to Casa Del Shovelhead to take care of some projects, and goof off while Wifey has to go back to work tomorrow.

Y'all be careful out there.

 

Guess that didn't work... there's no coffee!

WOW, you know how to get my attention even if I am a day light arriving for the banquet. Good eatin'.

I didn't see any coffee either, Scott - - lousy timer or else he took lessons from the Times Square bomber.

Home for the day to get projects done - - feeling a bit better so no more excuses. The coffee is on, grabbing a ph00 and gone.

Check the microwave, the coffee was still plyable, so I cooked it some more.
